[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jason Miller, who played the priest in the Exorcist movie, was married to Jackie Gleason's daughter.  They have a son Jason Patric ([b]80s movie sta[/b]r, dated Julia Roberts, was in that vampire movie).

Anyway, Jason Miller is originally from Scranton, PA.  He wrote a play "That Championship Season", of which he won a Pulitzer.

Because of the way he treated his wife, Jackie Gleason had him blackballed in Hollywood.

He returned to Scranton, was a falling down alcoholic who was mocked by people at the bars (Farley's, for those Scrantonians reading this), until he finally passed away.

It's was really sad to see.

Jason Patric has been a working actor for 30+ years[/quote]

I had no idea Jason Patric was Jason Miller’s son. I went to the U in the 80s and had conversation and a drink with Jadon Miller at the Jesuit Estate. He was a chain smoker. Deep set dark eyes. I was a little fascinated by him. Back in the day Richard Harris was in residence for a year and as I recall he used to go out at night and drink with Jason Miller. God the memories. Scranton baby!  Da U. Heyna![/quote]

Why was he blackballed?[/quote]
